The All Blacks.

NZ rocks

Boy he’s lucky that he was involved in the doping scandal otherwise the book would have been a lot less interesting and then it would have sold a lot less copies.Does make u wonder whether what section in the book shop should the book be filed,fiction or….

These guys may at least leave us with something worthwhile.They may be old but at least they can actually sing and kick it.

a symphony of British music.Stand up and be proud,or run for cover.

Well if nothing else this is one closing cerimony that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons

This is way beyond shit.

More in likely her face will crack if she can remember what a smile is.But really is this the best way to round off the games,really.

Thats it looks like my two best friends are about to get spoilt today.Really feel for u its such a hard decision to finally make but be positive and remember the lifetime memories.

Theres actually a trail system of singletrack networked thru all the parks around the city that can provide great riding and also a great way of getting around and seeing the place.San Fran’s very bike friendly so theres no worry biking anywhere in the city.U can always bikee across the bridge staight into the headlands of Marin.Heres a link to a great bike shop that do a range of very good hire bikes http://www.roaringmousecycles.com/

Anyone smacking peddles on a SL probably needs to learn how to ride a bike.Its all about technique and not just trying to plough thru everyting.A slightly lower bb means the bike is super stable.

It wont be long b4 the market reaches saturation point and 26 will be rediscovered and become the next big thing

You might also consider a Singular Gyrphon.Have raced mine extensively and an constantly surprised at how good abike it is.Would imagine that it would fit the bill perfectly for this

I tried the online sub for a year and didnt renew.For me there is no substitute for a good mag that can be picked up at any random moment and eventually pressed into service as recreational reading for all by the potty or simple passed on to your mates

Great saddles just make sure you get the right size for you and get the angle right when mounting the seat.Gobi complete bollocks imo

Murray will be out of the top four by the end of this year.Im not sure why he’s even there.When was the last time he won anything that mattered.He lacks charisma and the true talent to take him to the top.He looks and acts like a wee spoilt child most of the time.

Maybe a steel frame like a Singular would be worth a look just for a slightly more forgiving ride.I found the Giant just a little harsh.Still better that the equivalent 26er but u did know u were riding a hardtail on the longer rides.The Singular just seems to take the edge off things

Ours is quite usefull if your coming to NZ

Whats the verdict on how they ride

That Nicolai is a seriously nice looking piece of kit.

Thanks for the great replies.Im looking at an 2011 frame.Has anyone had a chance to compare the Sultan with a Niner RIP as this is the other frame i have in mind.

SC Heckler
Intense Spider
Singular Swift
Singular Gryphon
Ventana El Comandante
Might find some room for a Ibis Mojo SL

Its aint over yet.Shame its not the final

I hardly think making the semi’s they can be labeled chokers.Lets face it some of the highly rated teams havnt even made it this far.TRY go Gag.

[Gotta get behind Wales , they will have every kiwi behind them as they hate the French slightly less than the Ozzies]

I couldnt agree less.From the average kiwi’s point of view both teams and there followers have been a breath of fresh air to the comp and will be supported equally.The French and Welsh have a real passion for the game and we love that here.

Thankfully the pommy rugby teams departing our shores.What did they give to the game.Miserable soulless rugby, no smiles, boorish behaviour and attitude.Goodbye and dont hurry back.Thankfully there should be some entertaining rugby ahead with four teams full of entertainment and skill to cap off a very successful and enjoyable rugby festival.One of the great joys has been seeing all the different nationalities travelling the country and enjoying there time here.

[Did you actually watch the Wales/Ireland game yesterday? ]
I did and full credit to Wales they beat an overweight slow Irish pack and looked well coached by an excellent kiwi coach

Finally a decent game of footy.None of this kick and clap crap that the northern hemisphere teams think passes for rugby.Honestly as an English supporter i dont know how u can follow a team so bereft of skill and ideas.At least this game had skill,passion and real men playing it.Go the Soutern hemisphere teams,u lead the way in the rugby world

Its a shame both teams cant be eliminated after this game as the skill level and decision making of both teams are seriously below the levels expected at this stage of the cup.Still if u like kick and clap football i guess it of a standard to be expected.

I can only hope the sad selection of rugby watchers on here are not a true representation of the English psyche as a whole.If so i feel sorry for the country.Bitter,envious,isolated and unlikeable is the only way to describe the poor sports on here.

Crickey the Scots will most likely win the dullest team at the worlds and thats saying a lot after witnessing the best from the home nations.Watching teams from the USA and Canada has been so entertaining and a window to the future of the game.Enduring the home nations games has been nothing short of torture

Common thats not fair,ive already invested in a Gryphon and Swift and now im being tempted again.Where will it end.Probably the devorce courts.

They’re made high in the front so its quite hard to get your weight over the front for good traction.I tried it and was okay but not really what the bikes designed for

CaptainFlashheart what an unusual thing to desire.You appair to have all the atributes that make the brits loved world wide.

Self amalgamating electrical tape is the tidiest fix.Ive got a 5.5 and the frame is very noisy

Well im with you on the 29er thing.I dont think the full suspension 29er amounts to much more than a big tractor dulldozing its way thru everyting.Gr8 if your a crap rider but nowhere near as much fun of versatile as the 26 equivalent.As for the Tallboy it was probably a good bike to try as it seems to be one of the better trail bikes around.Ive tried one and found it a bit uninspiring.I think where the 29er thing comes into its own is on the hardtails.There certainly seems to be some advantage to be had.I have a Swift for race duties and it works well.But like bellybuttons we all have an opinion

A distant shore by the Gr8 Tracy Thorn.Very hard to find but worth the effort

Ive never heard such crazy talk.One bike.Cant be done.

I know as ive got older im more paricular who i hang with and value time alone.Best thing is u realise theres something going on and are prepared to look at solutions.Probabl;y nothing major going on just a bit of introversion.U ceratinly seem well liked around this forum which is something a lot of peps cant brag about and i enjoy your honest postings and down to earthness.
